Querido Familia,
This week was crazy!
But I´m still alive so that´s good. :) Hahah it´s been one of the hardest weeks
and yet one of the best! Last Monday was our pday especial and we went to
Concordia to spend the day with our zone. It was really fun and super
beautiful. I love any time we get to spend with other missionaries and may or
may not have taken advantage of the 3 hour bus ride to catch up on some sleep
:)
My first week being in
charge of the area was a struggle, especially during planning. I was feeling a
little stressed out just because our area is huge and one particular night we
had absoultely nothing planned for the next evening. I just didn´t even know
where to start and I felt a lot of pressure to find out exactly what where we
needed to be exactly when we needed to be there... cuz there are people who are
prepared and I wanna find em. But like I said, I didn´t have a clue of where to
start. Finally I just decided to pick a name from our huge list of menos
activos and planned to go contact this woman and after we were going to contact
that area (still super awkward about these, btw). Long story short, we were the
answer to this woman´s prayers, we found crazy weird connections to other menos
activos and it was just a really cool experience. It helped me see that
as long as we´re really trying to go about doing good, doing our best to follow
the promptings of the spirit, He´s going to put people in our path and He will
lead us to where we need to be. This week I´ve seen a huge change in myself and
my ability to just trust in the Lord and follow the spirit. It´s awesome.
Now for the other 57
miracles. Yesterday we had 57 people en la capilla compared to the usual 30 or
so! We worked a lot this week with menos activo families and two of them showed
up to church for the first time in years. It was so awesome and we were all on
cloud nine! even if there was a fist fight and a bloody nose. Hahah good times.
The trick now is just getting them to come every week. :) We also had two
investigators there and one of them is getting baptized on the 13th of
September! So. even though this week was tough, I´m learning and growing a ton
and we´re seeing a lot of miracles in this area. :) #concepcióndeluruguayordie
Love you all so very
much! I love seeing all of these pictures, even if it takes me a minute
to recognize my nieces and nephews because they´re all growing up so very fast!
:) Have a wonderful week, my dears.
